Grocery Store Chic™

The most I'm getting out these days is to the grocery store ? so why not try & look cute while doing so? During this quarantine I've been unable to see my hairstylist (Miss you Sam!!) so I've had no choice but to grow out my Bettie bangs. I haven't had long bangs since I first cut them into Bettie bangs around 2010! Growing your bangs out is definitely full of awkward growth stages and hiding them can be a bit challenging. I've also been practicing pin-curling my hair more and figuring out a setting pattern & technique that works for me. I've preferred to pin curl my hair while my hair ..read more

The world has been slowed down by COVID-19 and many of us are trying to adapt to the ever changing landscape that is our collective "new normal." I haven't really gone anywhere or done anything that isn't the bare minimum necessary just to keep not only myself, but my loved ones & other people as safe as possible. That being said, sometimes you just have to do a look inside even if you're not going out! I did a quick & simple look inspired of the 1960's of course! Details below:  Headscarf: Vintage. Glasses: Vintage from https://www.instagram.com/_sistersvintage_/ Sweater ..read more

A couple of months ago I did a fun witchy shoot with LucyLaRiot. This was my second time working with her and this time was just as pleasant & fun as the first! Her studio has everything you can imagine for fun pinup & retro inspired shoots. She's also an amazing hair artist as well! I can't say enough good things about her, especially being inexperienced with professional photoshoots, she made me feel at ease and comfortable. Definitely book a session with her if you're in the NYC area! I hope to do more fun shoots like this with her in the future.  The inspiration for this shoot is ..read more

A couple of weeks ago I went to dinner with my lovely friend Dawn to a fabulous restaurant in NYC called Beauty & Essex! She knows and understands my love of all things vintage & vintage inspired so she suggested we go and take advantage of their NYC restaurant week deals (lol). As two gals on a budget, it was the perfect plan. I had never been to Beauty & Essex before so I researched it a bit beforehand and my jaw dropped. It's unique in the fact that they have a pawn shop right at the entrance! How cool is that? It also looks like there was a furniture store at this location on ..read more

(Post from 1/24/2019 - migrated from my previous blog host)  I’m a person who will show support for small businesses and emerging entrepreneurs whenever I can. In a society where a lot of major companies run many, many things, it’s a beautiful thing to see a small business deliver amazing hand-crafted goods that you know are handled with genuine love & care that mass companies simply can’t deliver. However, if a product isn’t good, whether it be mass produced or made in someone’s very own kitchen, I will be honest about it on here. I won’t lie just to support a friend or have a biase ..read more
